Problem summary

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: When a user tries to edit a z/OS UNIX   *
  *                      file that they are not permitted to     *
  *                      update, ISPF invokes the View function  *
  *                      and issues the message ISREV013 'View   *
  *                      substituted'. If the user then edits    *
  *                      a z/OS UNIX file they are permitted     *

  *                      a system abend 614 occurs, error        *
  *                      messages IEC204I and IEC214I showing    *
  *                      return code '10'X are issued and the    *
  *                      changes are not saved.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the provided PTF.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  ISPF sets internal flag TFDVREAD on when substituting the View
  function for Edit. For a z/OS UNIX file this causes the z/OS
  file to be allocated ORDONLY. THe TFDVREAD flag is not reset
  after the View function terminates. For a subsequent edit of
  a z/OS UNIX file ISPF finds flag TFDVREAD on and allocates the
  file ORDONLY rather than ORDWR. This results in the system
  abend 614 when ISPF issues a CLOSE to save updates to the file.
  

Problem conclusion

• Module ISREAL is changed to ensure flag TFDVREAD is set off
  when the Edit function is invoked.
